A master gardener told me once “Feed the soil, not the plant.” Wise words that many gardeners have followed. As the cost of fertilizers have increased, I was thrilled to come across the book, The Regenerative Grower’s Guide to Garden Amendments. The amendments in the book promote the biological health of garden soil and are available from local sources. Some of these homemade amendments can also be made from waste-products (like weeds or fish scraps) that would otherwise end up unused.
On January 17th, I shared some of the recipes for these homemade amendments with other gardeners. We each made a vinegar extraction of eggshells, fermented plant juice, and swamp water (a water extraction of plant minerals). Easy to make and apply, the amendments have sparked my interest to learn more.
